Public bug reported:

I try to connect empathy to my Google account. In the "Edit Connetion
Parameters..." dialog box I can enter a password of length up to 13
characters. My Google password is 30 characters long
(http://xkcd.com/936/), however, so this is not a limit enforced by
Google.

For my Facebook account I can also enter a longer password, and I did
not test any other account types, but my guess is that there may be
similar problems.
